This MSc project will focus on identifying different types of alarm calls and the context in which they are used in a semi urban vervet monkey population. In particular, we are interested in studying responses to dogs, and other anthropogenic introduced threats in the habitat of this population. The project entails 6-8 months field work at the Simbithi Eco Estate at the East Coast of South Africa. You will be supervised by Prof. Marta Manser, Dr. Stephanie Mercier and Dr. Sofia Forss.
